nothing like being presented with a job you DO NOT want to get kicked into gear

Re: Redbubble & Alternatives

Redbubble is doing some nonsense and I've deleted my account. I barely bothered with it anyway, was mostly there for people who've asked for specific images as posters.

Anyway in doing that I sacrificed the $4.35 that was still sitting in my earnings. They only let you cash out at $20, so rather than drum up sales and therefore make Redbubble more money, I'm gonna do what I feel is $4.35 in anti-publicity for them. 🥳

tl;dr there are new fees that hurt artist income at all sales levels. Redbubble is either looking to cut costs and raise profits for funsies, or is in serious financial trouble.

About the new fees:

Redbubble offers their services to artists by allowing artists to control their profit margin above a certain baseline manufacturing fee. This was pretty cool! There's now an additional fee that will be charged starting May 1, 2023. It is not an upfront fee that requires you to pay out of pocket, but it does directly cut your profit margin. How badly? Well...

By Redbubble's own example, if in one month you sell $300 in products that you had set at a 25% margin, you'd previously earn $75. Under the new structure, that earnings level means you pay a $28 fee, so you will now be paid $47. That $28 represents a 37% cut off what you were supposed to earn.

There's a full fee table in that link, but other highlights include a $1 fee if you earned $2 (aka 50%!) and big sellers who'd expect to take home $400 will now receive $320 (an $80 fee, 20%).

It also puts you in a weird spot that earning $1 more in a month may bump you to the next tier, causing you to actually take home less money. Make $1 more, end up losing $11. Make it make sense. 🤨

About the new tiers:

Each shop is evaluated and labeled Standard, Premium, or Pro. Premium and Pro shops are not subject to the new fees, but there's no clarity on how to move from one tier to another. Redbubble says it's under your control but it's clearly not. Many artists are reporting that they have accounts with next to no sales that have been labeled Pro, and accounts with thousands of annual sales that are labeled Standard.

Action items:

Look, I'm not gonna tell other artists that they have to close their shops, or tell buyers not to buy from Redbubble if your favorite artists have chosen to stay. What you do with the above info is up to you.

What I will say is that many artists are leaving because the new pay structure sucks. I encourage people who buy from Redbubble to expand their support to other sites.

Attrition is arguably their goal here—they know people will leave over this, and that'll probably lower their costs and lower competition for the remaining accounts. But goodwill is lost easily and they're playing a dangerous game on betting how many stay vs. leave. I'm out.

Feel free to leave your feedback on Redbubble's feedback form here, but it feels slightly like yelling into the void.

Alternatives:

tbh I don't have a good read on things. If you do know of any recommended (or unrecommended) print-on-demand sites, speak up!

I will say that as of now (April 2023), based on my research:

🟢 INPRNT sounds like a winner if your game is art prints and stickers. Does not have any wearable products like t-shirts.

🟡 Etsy + Printify/Printful might be viable? Etsy always had higher profit margins than POD marketplaces, but it's a bit more work and they also do weird things occasionally. Also has a listing fee so if you're the type to upload a ton of designs, pricey.

🔴 Teepublic is owned by Redbubble. Doesn't have the tier/new fee structure as of now but might be imminent. Have also heard their customer service sucks.

🔴 Society6 is going to charge artists shipping costs, and there's going to be a (mandatory?) subscription service launched in the fall, so that's not a winner anymore either.

      Presently, you were debating on whether or not it would be more beneficial on your welfare and sanity if you were still a student at Hogwarts. It felt like nearly an eternity since you were skipping and scrambling down the familiar halls to get to your magic classes. Now, however, you were apart of the Order of the Phoenix. As if there were many other options that would deem you safe during the Wizarding War.        For the past hour, you had been and still were catching up on the latest news from the Daily Prophet. You had gotten behind in your readings since your last mission. Staying in the know during the War had become somewhat obsessive to you. At times it was unhealthy, the amount of negative news giving you a headache that screamed for the joy that it was being deprived. Sitting on the couch, your mind wandered for a moment in thought. It had been a handful of minutes since Sirius’s last attempt of pulling you away from your readings. In all honesty, it would not be long now before he procured another little scheme to amuse himself.        Sirius had become, in a word, desperate at this point. He paced the floor of the bedroom in thought. Obviously trying to pry the newspapers from your hands was not the ideal way to go about things. That, he was sure of now. Waltzing around the flat shirtless was likely his most failed attempt at a first idea. At least it brought a smile to your face for a moment, he was proud of that.       Pouting, Sirius transformed himself into his animagus form. Trotting his way back into the living area, there was nothing but the sound of the soft padding of his paws and the occasional flip of a page. In front of you now, he nudged his nose against your knee.        Peering over the paper for a moment, you said, “Hello, Padfoot.”        Sirius whined when your eyes continued to read the paper. He let out a huff. Still not getting the attention he craved so dearly from you. He proceeded to hop onto the couch and crawl into your lap. It was not as if he could fit his entire body, much less his torso because he was such a large dog.        You had to move the newspaper up and out of the way with a laugh though he was whining.        “What?” You asked as he pouted, nuzzling his fuzzy face against your neck. “All right, all right. I was about finished reading anyway.”        No sooner you had placed the paper aside there was a definitive difference. The sudden mood change and brightness in his face could have given you whiplash.        His tail wagged, but he continued to whine until you embraced him.        “Better now?” You asked as he curled up with you. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
